Further the divided differences in the table can be directly used for constructing the Newton Divided Difference interpolation polynomial that would fit the data. Exercise: Using Newton divided difference interpolation polynomial , construct polynomials of degree two and three for the following data:

Let us assume that the function f(x)is linear thenwe have. f(xi) - f(xj) (xi- xj) where xiand xjare anytwo tabular points, is independent of xiand xj. This ratio is called the first divided difference of f(x)relativetoxi andxjand is denoted by f[xi, xj]. That is.
